Uttar Pradesh minister Mohsin Raza Monday claimed that the 2019 Kumbh venue is cleaner compared to the 2013 event, and even the "Ganga is shining as bright as a pearl this time", as he asked SP chief Akhilesh Yadav to post pictures of him taking a dip during the previous mela to prove his point.
Yadav had recently posted on social media photographs of him taking a dip in the Ganga during the ongoing Kumbh mela.
Raza said the former chief minister posted photos from the Kumbh organised by the BJP government led by Yogi Adityanatah. "We also want him to post photographs of the Kumbh which was organised when he was chief minister (2012-2017) and Azam Khan was urban development minister."
